I dont think you should tell him you are leaving or where you are going.

Even if he files a missing person file you will be safe with your friend. You can always go to the police and calmly explain the situation and how you are doing everything possible to protect yourself.

Tell me more about how you got away from captivity? How old were you when you got there and how old were you when you escaped? Describe the escape, what you felt and what you thought, how you have done it. Take a moment and stay centred after you have written this (if you choose to of course!)

Of course it will be horrific if this dream came true. But its a dream. its your fear and way of coming to terms with things. Maybe it was your way, in the dream, to resolve some of the trauma, as the a huge part of the abuse is around denial. It happened but no one talks about it. The moment you break this denial - is very powerful. So in the dream (which is a safe place) your dad acknowledges what he did and possibly the pain it caused you. Its coming to terms with the trauma. I think that even though you are scared of coming to term with it and dealing with it (and thats understanble) you also need to do that to heal.

The chances of your dad acknoledging the pain he caused you is minimal. The chances of him confronting you and trying to hurt you more as you leave is very high. So if he does end up mentioning the abuse it will be because he is attempting to hurt you, not to make amends.

I think you are in the right path. Again - I am proud of you!! When is the moving date??
